Question:

The probability of a certain brand of battery going dead within 15 hours is 1/3. Noah has a toy that requires 4 of these batteries. He wants to estimate the probability that at least one battery will die before 15 hours are up.1.Noah will simulate the situation by putting marbles in a bag. Drawing one marble from the bag will represent the outcome of one of the batteries in the toy after 15 hours. Red marbles represent a battery that dies before 15 hours are up, and green marbles represent a battery that lasts longer.How many marbles of each color should he put in the bag? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

The number of marbles of each color that should be present in the bag is;

1 red marble and 2 green marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we note that the probability of a battery going dead = 1/3 and the

Therefore if the red marbles represent that a battery dies before 15 hours then the probability of picking the red marble should be 1/3. That is if there is only one red marble in the bag, the probability of picking the red will be 1/3 when there are other 2 green batteries in the bag

That is there should be 1 red marble and 2 green marble in the bag.

The mean of the heights of three buildings A,B and C is 14.2m. The mean of the heights of five buildings A,B,C, D and E is 14.8m
Jobisdone [24]
<h3>Answer:  15.7 meters</h3>

========================================================

Work Shown:

s = sum of the heights of buildings A,B,C

s/3 = mean of the heights of buildings A,B,C

s/3 = 14.2

s = 3*14.2

s = 42.6

The buildings A,B,C have their heights add up to 42.6

--------------

r = sum of the heights of buildings A,B,C,D,E

r/5 = mean of the heights of buildings A,B,C,D,E

r/5 = 14.8

r = 5*14.8

r = 74

--------------

r-s = (sum of heights of A,B,C,D,E)-(sum of heights of A,B,C)

r-s = sum of the heights of buildings D and E

r-s = 74-42.6

r-s = 31.4

(r-s)/2 = mean height of buildings D and E

(r-s)/2 = 31.4/2

(r-s)/2 = 15.7 meters is the average height of buildings D and E.

zepelin [54]
The answer is 48.

<span>Out of 50 people, 4 had a mispriced item: 50 people - 4 mispriced
Out of 600 people, x will have a mispriced item: 600 people - x

Make a proportion:
50 : 4  = 600 : x
50 * x = 4 * 600
50x = 2400
x = 2400 / 50
x = 48</span>
